- Synopsis
- "The pressures of modern living and the complexities of transient relationships prevent us from forming deeply intimate bonds with one another. Real, lasting intimacy, though difficult to attain, is a precious gift that we all desire and deserve. Now, in this breakthrough book, Dr. Jerry, famed therapist and best-selling author of Be the Person You Were Meant to Be, reveals a foolproof method structured to help everyone attain total lifetime contentment. Stressing that no one is too unattractive, too failure-prone or too old to create a fulfilling intimate relationship, Dr. Greenwald does believe that many people are too timid, too insecure or just afraid to take the first positive steps. These steps, and the simple ones that follow, are clearly outlined in Creative Intimacy. Digging deep into Gestalt therapy, the book demonstrates how to develop a healthy 'yes' attitude and still know when to say 'no'; how to avoid detouring your life into blind alleys that create self-diminishing, self-defeating patterns; how to abandon the 'happily ever after' myth and deal with reality; how to employ the 'no' process as a weapon against emotional fragmentation and toxic intrusion; and how to build psychic-space and gain the rewards that belong to us all--an open, flexible, adaptable and optimistic nature and an intimate relationship that is a prime source of stability, security and emotional nourishment. Creative Intimacy is waiting for you. Gain new techniques, new enthusiams and a new ability to reach out and find your intimate other. Begin learning how to achieve creative intimacy today. The past does not dictate the future, patterns can be broken, and true intimate relationships can be a reality for everyone." On an academic level, this book provides students and professionals with constructive psycho-therapeutic techniques to use with their clients.
